At Voyager Estate, it is all about the experience, with my father we travelled down to Margaret River but the estate was never open, the owner wanted the estate to be perfect before official opening.

Despite our annoyance at the time, we understood this philosophy as a winemaker. It is imperative and this attitude is reflected in the winemaking. It has been a while since I have been down to Voyager Estate, but if I am bringing guests, this place is on the schedule as the gardens are magnificent.

One of my former colleagues and his wife had planned to come and stay with me in 2020 but the covid restrictions really killed this trip. As he is coming from Africa, I am guessing they are more likely to be at the end of the covid vaccine roll-out so this trip with them could be a while off.
